I’ll just add that according to modern Laws of Armed Conflict (LOAC) the current definition of a military target may include schools, hospitals, religious sites and culturally relevent monuments should they be used by enemy forces.

Even in WW1 and WW2 when these rules were being written, if your enemy was hiding in a church, that was okay. But if they stored munitions or fired from the church, it and everyone in it would be considered valid military targets.

It was designed that way in order to stop soldiers from hiding in hospitals and schools saying “You can’t shoot us, there are women, children and the sick in here” while they used that amnesty to kill countless others.

Just a distinction a lot of people tend to miss when they talk about “The Geneva Convention.”

Certified bootlicker in every one of your comments.

Literally not angry with no evidence.

Perhaps I misremembered what I read from other sources. My memory isn’t infallible. The thing I’m angry about has evidence and I made it clear why that upsets me. I also clearly stated that there are only about 66 countries WITH access. Meaning over 130 other nations without access. Including the entirety of the Bulkan states.

Go lick some other corpo’s boot.

Also locks out anyone not living in the 66 countries serviced by the PSN.

Also now requires giving your personal info to yet another third party and their friends. A third party which has a storied past of losing user data.

It’s not in the EULA at all. A major problem with this change is that PSN is only available in about 66 countries. Locking out the rest of the world from playing without fear of repercussions due to falsified account info.

Also just the shitty problem of having to give your personal info to yet another third party. One who has a long history of losing personal data of its users.

Okay, sweet. Then that’s identical to the system I’ve been told about for Canadian Forces and similar to what I’ve seen with other militaries. Crazy how that works. Especially seeing American states that are so pro military and anti-labour fail to meet the basic criteria even the DoD follows.

I’ve been told that the armies in many countries use sliding scales of work-rest cycles based on temperature and humidity. For example in Canada, above 35°C you may only have half the crew working 30 minutes on 30 minutes off. Meaning you have 50% of the work being done 100% of the time. Hydration and heat stroke checks are strongly enforced as well. The American army does similar if I’ve been told correctly.

How American civilians and labourers are not allowed these very same standards is insane to me. People die because of this shit and unions are just okay with this?

So because the show ends at an actual great point in the series. You know, like an actual break-off point the show is all bad?

I’m confused. It’s a great show. We’re all sad that it ended early but the point that it ends is perfect.

As a huge fan of the books before the show was made… Wot?

They had a pretty faithful adaptation of the show. Even character changes were acceptable. They even had the writers of the books writing and producing so like…

What was wrong with the shows again? They cancelled it at a perfect breaking point where the main characters would have aged 50 years? That’s what we don’t like?

You’re disgusting. Instead of worrying about the plight of millions you and your buddy here decide to objectify women who have lost their fathers, brothers, husbands and friends to a horrific war.

You disgust me.

What the fuck if wrong with you?

If you’re having trouble paying your bills and your boss gives you a raise that makes paying your bills easier, right? Now you have freed up income that can properly go other places and be spread evenly instead of going paycheque to paycheque.

The military funding in Canada is Anemic to say the least. Yes, the money goes towards bases and subs up north but this is still a net positive for funding in the CAF. Thus a net positive for Canadians.

**Even if that money is given to you via grocery store gift cards as a “bonus” you now don’t have to spend rent money on food.

Bootlicker take btw.

Canadians and the public tend to be supportive of infrastructure or spending that supports their life or provides tangible good.

The Canadian military has time and time again proven to support the Canadian people in times of crisis. Whether that be snowfall in Toronto or record flooding in Ottawa or annual forest fires in Alberta that are getting worse.

We can spend the money on the military to ensure its there for when we need it. Provide the military money to house, clothe and feed those soldiers, or…

We can fund AI that most Canadians are worried about.

If you’re lucky enough to be placed in an area that has room and board. Many new Canadian soldiers, airmen and sailors are forced to live in their cars or rely on the local economy. Base infrastructure and base housing are falling apart. Literally asbestos walls filled with rodents. Or WW1 horse barns turned into troop bays.

The lack of funding to the military also affects housing for the general public. No money for the CAF to build houses means 10k+ soldiers per base taking housing and apartments away from the local economy.

No funding to the CAF means less CAF owned infrastructure, means less housing for the public. Worse conditions for the military means fewer soldiers to protect our sovereignty when the call comes. Money spent on funding the military can be and is money spent on housing.
